I was impressed by the cleanliness, the views, and well-stocked everything at this property. It is a duplex with gorgeous mountain views, right next to Mineral Creek. You can hear the creek when stargazing around the fire pit in the back.
My husband and I had everything we needed. There are 6 outdoor collapsable chairs for fire watching, very comfortable beds (!), all the pots/pans kitchenware you need, coffee, extra blankets, soaps, cleaning supplies, towels, and so much more. I was so impressed by the quality of the appliances, furniture, and overall decor of this property. If you want a super nice home to return to after a day of breathtaking (and tough!) hikes- this is the place to rent. My family does a lot of RV camping, and I like to have a softer, cleaner, spacious, more comfortable experience after a day of adventure.
Nice washer/dryer with detergent and softener. Lots of paper towels, hand sanitizer, disinfectants, and super comfortable couches with a giant tv ready with Netflix etc. There is fully stocked grill, which we used about every single day. The owners of this property really thought of everything, and spared no expense for quality. I couldn't be more satisfied.
Not many cons to list- just that the listing did not disclose that this property is indeed a duplex (smaller sq/footage than listed), and that it is a few feet away from 2 train tracks and station. Neither of the things was a problem at all! The train isn't running (no train whistles and bustling people a few times a day) due to covid, and someone in town mentioned the the train station is moving to another location (cannot verify accuracy). The house is a duplex, but the other side is used by post office employees, who need a rest after long travels. There are entirely separate ac/heating (forced air) units between sides of the duplex. The back patio was solely ours, and it appears that our side of the house is quite a bit larger. We could see a mail truck parked in front of the house- but that was it in terms of disturbance/noice/contact. Hopefully the owners will update the listing to add these details.
This property would also be excellent for families with kids as well. My only complaint is that they don't allow dogs. However, I completely understand given that this is a ultra nice property.
I will certainly be coming back to this property! Worth the money!
